five of my favorite running products

September 15, 2023      13 Comments

If you ask a runner about their favorite running products, you will get a multitude of different answers. The reality is there are so many different products, and different things work for different people. It’s hard to term any product as best or worst, just because so many people have particular tastes and needs. With that in mind, here are my five favorites!

Brooks Adrenaline GTS

Obviously, we are going to start with shoes. While I started in Mizunos, I am now a dedicated Brooks user, and the Adrenalines are my go-to shoe. I like the fit, and the feel. They are considered a stability shoe, but they aren’t particularly heavy or clunky. I also appreciate the fun colors and patterns. Nine times out of ten, these are the shoes I choose.

Goodr Sunglasses

As a Florida runner (and resident), I don’t go ANYWHERE without sunglasses. It’s just too bright and damaging to do otherwise. Goodr’s OG shades are my absolute favorite. They are comfortable and lightweight. They don’t slide off or bounce. Do they fog a little? Yes, but it’s so steamy and humid here that I don’t know how they couldn’t. It’s me, not them. They come in amazing colors and patterns, with just a hint of irreverence. And they are super inexpensive, with pairs starting at $25.

RoadID

Safety first! Road ID is an easy way to keep your ID, contact and medical information on your person while you are out and about. These stainless ID tags slide on to wristband, apple watch bands, or even shoelaces. There are great colors and you can even get IDs and collars for your favorite four legged friends! (Save when you order through my affiliate link!)

Brooks Distance Tank 2.0

Not going to lie, I’m making it my mission to get every single Brooks Distance tank. I love the colors, the graphics and the fit. They are light and airy, without being that tech material I can’t stand. At $32 each, they are a little on the pricier side, but they last forever and don’t get stinky. And they go on sale with decent inventory, so it’s manageable.

Honey Stinger Fuel

Fuel is so important, and I always like to have a stash of Honey Stinger gels and waffles in stock. A has a habit of confiscating said waffles, so it’s easier said than done. However, they all taste good, are easy on my stomach, and give me the energy I need. Proper fueling looks different for everyone, but these are the goodies that work best for me.

    Brooks are the best! Totally agree it’s the number one running product! Shoes are everything. I’ve had Adrenalines, but I keep going back to the Ghosts.
    I admire you so much for running in the Florida summer! I love to run, but I almost always quit in the spring, and start up again when it cools off.

    I agree on the Goodrs and Brooks tanks (in sale)

    I often eat the waffles before. They’re hard to carry so I eat Gu. Instead.

    Brooks shoes are so cute but I need a lower heal drop for my toe issues.

    I’m a fan if Goodrs and Honey Stingers, too! I’ve been wearing Sauconys and Hokas and gear from Arc’teryx and Janji.

    I love my Brooks shoes, but have sort of transitioned to the Launch GTS (from the Adrenalines). I’m tempted to test out the Adrenalines 23’s, though. The 22’s were just not a fantastic fit for me, but I can’t bring myself to completely write them off.

      And I really want to try the Launch GTS but I haven’t come across them in store yet.

      I think the 18s were not my favorite, but we will see how the 23s go.

    Well, you know how I feel about both Brooks shoes and clothes 😉

    Goodr has so many cute patterns – I really need to pick up a few more pairs! And, I never run without my RoadID – a must-have!

    I don’t think those Brooks tanks ate that expensive, compared to bands like Lululemon and Athleta. I don’t have any but I”ll check them out!
    I recently got a pair of Goodrs and I love them.

      That’s a good point. But I doo usually get my tanks from Old Navy or Target, so they are much pricier than those.

      So glad you love your Goodrs!

    Hey I just noticed something weird- my Friday post is linked here, which is fine, but I didn’t link it! I would have linked up with you guys but it’s not really a running post. I don’t mind at all but I can’t figure out how it got here… any thoughts???

It was a beautiful morning that turned quickly into a beautiful day. Sundays are hard because they are immediately  followed by Mondays, and Mondays are hard.

Lots to catch up on this week! April is chock full of holidays, birthdays, days off, and events, so let’s get to it!

About this morning… I was up and out early to d About this morning…

I was up and out early to drive to Flagler Beach for the #Missionpossible5k.

It was a small, well organized event, with an easy-to-follow course (the last mile was almost exclusively an ocean view), with great shirts and swag.

I was really pleased with my performance, and even more pleased with this beach sunrise. I’ll share more on the #RunnersRundown on Wednesday, so stay tuned!

Where did you run or race this weekend?

Oh, hello long sleeves. I’m here for it. So goo Oh, hello long sleeves. I’m here for it.

So good to stretch the legs today. I was super sore after a @runsmartofficial cross training session last night, and needed to just get out there and let the fresh air work its magic.

What are you up to today? I really need to take a moment with my calendar and get some plans locked into place.

Check out those blue skies! I got to sleep in AND Check out those blue skies!

I got to sleep in AND take advantage of some cooler temps. It really didn’t warm up until my last mile and that was just fine.

I feel like this month and next are really just flying by. So much is going on, and I want so badly to enjoy it all, including the crisp, sunny days where we find them!

Happy Monday! I don’t know about you all, but y Happy Monday!

I don’t know about you all, but your girl is TIRED. It is so hard to roll out of bed some mornings. Ugh. 

I managed (finally) and banked six miles in some gross humidity. And now it’s time for some self care and then back to work.

Also. We have somehow acquired a pecan tree? Any tips on the growth and care of this would be greatly appreciated!

#Running #streakingwiththecoolkids
Sunday fun day! Just a short walk to start the da Sunday fun day!

Just a short walk to start the day and work out some stiffness. Some days, my ankle just doesn’t want to cooperate 🫤

I have been making graphics and content all day for a client, and now I’m about to do hair and makeup for a little event. Wheee! 

This week is going to be BUSY! There’s a lot of changes to the regular routines (nails, a digital learning day, after school and weekend programming) and I have a race on Saturday and bocce ball on Sunday! 

Who else is ready to dive in?!
